Cannabis products are advancing at a rapid rate and nowhere more so than in the beauty department.

I recently got to try out some cannabis infused soap from Abis.inc. Infused with cannabis and lemongrass essential oil, the aroma was wonderfully uplifting and stimulating and I couldn’t wait to try it! If Lemongrass isn’t your thing, they also have other scent packages, including Rooibos, Spearmint & Charcoal, Lavender & Rosemary and Lime & Coconut.

First off, it can’t make you high but when it comes to moisturizing your skin, this soap is in a class of it’s own! Made with coconut oil, coconut butter, shea nut butter and lye, your skin is deeply moisturized, cleansed and healed, all in one go. As I lay in the bath, I felt wonderfully relaxed as the refreshing smell of lemongrass wafted from the water. My skin was left feeling baby-soft and so smooth.

The natural anti-inflammatory properties of cannabis make this soap perfect for those with skin issues like eczema or psoriasis. Cannabis also helps prevent drying of the skin, promotes skin cell regenesis and is also rumored to help balance out the skin’s natural pH levels.

I used the soap everyday for a month and I definitely noticed an improvement in the quality of my skin – it was softer but also seemed more supple with an overall healthier tone.

So, if you’re looking for the solution to your dry skin issues…..look no further than cannabis infused soap!

Cannabis topicals are gaining in popularity – from anti-anging to healing sores and easing pain – and all without getting high!

I have been looking for the perfect cannabalm for sometime now – mostly to keep my skin moisturised, heal environmental damage and also to use as a preventative for skin cancer and other skin issues.

Benefits of Cannabis Infused Balms

It should come as no surprise to anyone that cannabis possess skin-healing benefits. Known for it’s anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anti-aging properties, it’s quickly becoming one the more popular treatments for eczema and other skin issues.

Because cannabinoid receptors are located all throughout the skin, CBD has the capability of interacting with those receptors to encourage homeostasis and healing.

Topicals are applied right to trouble areas so that the cannabis can work directly where it is needed. Although the cannabis can still be absorbed into your blood stream through your skin, it bypasses the liver and so you don’t get the psychoactive side-effects associated with orally ingested forms of treatment.

Finding the Perfect Cannabis Balm

Finding a well made cannabis balm in South Africa is easier said than done. There are balms, don’t get me wrong but too often they are made with cheaper ingredients or the consistency of the balm changes drastically with the heat.

So, when I discovered CannaMeds make a balm using all natural, organic ingredients and biodegradable packaging, I was over the moon. Rich and smooth with a delicate cannabis scent, I couldn’t wait to try it.

Organic, biodegdradable with Vegan-friendly options – What’s not to love?

Beautifully packaged in a biodegradable tin, CannaMeds ensures everything about their products is organic from ‘soil to oil’. The cannabis they use is carefully grown organically and indoors so as not to be exposed to potential pollutants.

One of the aspects I appreciate most is their attention to detail – they even carefully monitor how much heat is applied when making their products so that their customers can experience the full spectrum of healing properties offered by the cannabis plant by ensuring that none of these properties are accidentally burnt off. I love a company that goes to such great lengths to ensure we truly get the best of the best!

When you use their balm you can actually feel the care that has been taken in making their products. From the beautiful, biodegradable packaging to the decadent softness of the balm – this product does not disappoint!

CannaMeds also offers vegan options – using GMO-free soy way rather than honey. They also make tinctures and coconut oil infused capsules.

Moisturising and healing

Unlike many natural balms, the CannaMeds Healing Balm is soft in texture making it easy to apply. It was quickly absorbed into my skin, leaving it genuinely silky and smooth to the touch However, unlike with synthetic creams, my skin remained soft and moisturized for hours after.

This makes using the Healing Balm on my face a pleasure – it leaves my skin feeling satin-soft and revitalised but without the usual oily sheen that accompanies many natural balms.
